Seeds of Hardy Perennial Flowers and 
Rock Garden Plants 
There can be no greater joy than the planting of your own Perennial or Rock Garden, and certainly nothing more fascinating than 
actually growing from seed the plants and varieties desired. Perennials are those plants that go on living and increasing for a number 
of years, the stems dying down each season and coming again from the roots each spring. Most varieties are easily raised from seed 
sown during the late spring and early summer in frames or seed beds and transplanted to their permanent quarters in late summer or 
early autumn. If the seed be planted in August, they should be wintered over in the cold frame and transplanted to the border or 
rockery the following spring. 
We recommend sowing perennial seeds in the spring. Seed germinates better, seedlings have an opportunity to develop into 
sturdy plants by fall, which permits them to winter over more successfully. The majority of these perennials bloom the second year 
from seed, although some, like Coreopsis and Gaillardia, if sown early, bloom the first year. Perennials should be placed in clumps 
of three or five and left undisturbed for several years. 
All varieties marked with a ® throughout the list are especially suitable for the rockery.
